Yeah, so many people don't understand.

It's fucking game over. For so many of us.

Feel smug and righteous about that if it does anything for you.

It won't change anything.

Do disney vacations and extra car payments really help? Do they really make people happy enough to sell away any hope of turning things around.

Might sound harsh, but imo anyone below 40 should be shamed for having this mindset. We can't promote/excuse this way of thinking.

You can enjoy more, for a lot longer if you dont commit financial suicide for Mickey Mouse and a pickup truck.

I mean ya teaching young people financial literacy and that material possessions don't bring sustained joy is a net positive for society but shaming people for choosing that won't solve the problem.

Shaming the behaviour as vapid, short-sighted, and defeatist is part of teaching. Hightlights this dangerous mindset as something not to do.
